The following names are also contained in the general
Alumni Catalogue of 1877, but as they have not been verified
by the author, they are placed in a separate list. There are
no means of verifying those of 1831 and 1832, as no lists of
graduates of those years are accessible. Those given for 1838
and 1839 1 may be names of graduates in the Trustees' School,
the MS. records of whose classes are not to be found. Those
for other years are probably incorrect, but I have hesitated to
drop them. There were no circulars or catalogues until after
1839 :
